COMBINATION OF SMOOTHING-IRON AND LAMP.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 29,949, dated September 11. 1860.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LEONARD BRIOKER, of Springfield, county of Sangamon,and State of Illinois, have invented a new and improved lamp designed toheat rotary or revolving smoothing-irons, together with an improved modeof attaching said lamp to said irons.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention I willdescribe it more fully.

I construct my irons in any of the known forms of the rotary or twofaced smoothing irons and then I make my lamp in any desirable form andconstruct the tube in such a form that the end of the wick will be ashigh as the top of the fluid in the body of the lamp, the object to beattained being the 'use of a loose wick and thus avoid the greatinconvenience of using the tight wick necessary in a lamp of any otherform for the purpose described, and then I connect the lamp with theiron by a neatly formed dovetail the lips or flanges of which are caston the iron and the wedge on the lamp or vice versa as shown in thedrawings.

Figure 1, is a side elevation of the iron and lamp combined A Arepresents the dovetail and B the tube and C, G, a guard to prevent thetube from heating by the flame of the lamp. Fig. 2, represents a rearelevation of the iron showing the manner of attaching the flangesthereon. Fig. 3, is aside elevation of the lamp showing the tube anddovetail &c.

What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent isThe arrangement and combination of the lamp with elevated tube B, andguard C, C; dovetail A, A, and smoothing iron, all in the manner and forthe purpose herein described.
